OSHA Compliance in Philadelphia

Any business
owner who must comply with OSHA standards should be aware that inspections can
happen at any time. When OSHA receives a
complaint, they won’t call you ahead of time to let you know their inspectors
are coming. If an OSHA inspector were to
walk through the front door of your Philadelphia area business today, would you be prepared to ace
that inspection? If you’re not sure, you
need to look into OSHA
inspection training right away.

The majority
of OSHA inspections occur when a vindictive employee, current or former, files
an OSHA complaint regarding a workplace safety hazard. It’s possible that they had a legitimate
safety concern; it’s also possible that they simply want to make your life more
difficult. Whether or not an employee’s
complaint has any merit, OSHA is obligated to investigate these types of calls
to ensure that every workplace is safe and in compliance with OSHA
regulations.

While you
may think you have nothing to fear from an OSHA inspection, it’s possible that
some important safety details may have been overlooked, or that you’re no
longer in compliance with ever-changing workplace safety regulations. Any violations could result in your
operation being shut down until everything is brought up to code. You may also be subject to fines, higher
insurance premiums, and even regulatory or law enforcement actions. Don’t take a chance on losing time and money
or being subject to expensive fines and criminal penalties after a failed OSHA
inspection; contact Environmental Risk Services before your next inspection and
ask us about all the OSHA inspection
training programs we offer.

When an OSHA
inspector comes to your business, they’re going to be performing some very
specific tasks. Do you know what those
tasks are? Do you know what types of
equipment and which areas of your workplace they’ll be looking at? Do you know who they’ll be speaking to? If you answered “no” to any of these
questions, OSHA inspection
training will help you and your employees get up to speed so you won’t
have to wonder if you’re in compliance; you’ll know for sure.

So what exactly
do OSHA inspectors do during an inspection?
Here are a few things they’re likely to do when they show up to inspect
your business:

Meet with
Management – The assigned OSHA inspector will conduct a meeting to explain
why they’re inspecting your facility.
They may tell you about specific complaints but they will never reveal
the name of the current or former employee who filed it. Our OSHA training will help you and your management
team know what to expect during these meetings.

Audit Paperwork
– The inspector will delve into your records, reviewing relevant written
safety programs, records of safety training, injury logs, and any other
available documents related to the complaints filed. During your comprehensive OSHA inspection training,
we’ll tell you which records you need to be keeping and the proper way to
document workplace injuries and safety training.

Inspect
Your Facility – The inspector will do a thorough walkthrough of the
workplace looking for any violations of OSHA standards. After your OSHA training, you’ll know about all the specific
pieces of equipment they’ll be looking at and what violations may be present in
your workplace.

Interview
Your Employees – Your OSHA inspector may want to interview employees at
random to test their knowledge of your company’s safety programs and get a feel
for the overall safety environment of your workplace. Your OSHA inspection training will let them know what
the inspectors will be asking about and the proper way to respond.

Share
Results – After a thorough inspection, the inspector will meet with
management again to report any formal violations and notify you of any
additional investigations or sampling needed.
If you need OSHA
inspection help after that, we can assist you in learning how to bring
your workplace into compliance and prevent future violations.

While this
list may give you a few things to consider, it’s far from comprehensive. Every OSHA inspector has different
priorities, so it’s best to cover all your bases by receiving OSHA inspection training
that will cover all these topics and more.
Not only will OSHA
training help you create a safer work environment for your employees, it
will also help everyone in your workplace learn about what OSHA inspectors are
looking for and the proper way to talk to them when they’re in your facility. Regular training sessions are the best way to
ensure you stay in compliance with all applicable state and federal
regulations.
